Hello Guys, I'm looking to find Azure engineering job (remotely or freelancing).
Does anybody have same experience? I need some advice.
I'm Azure Infra Engineer, with coding background. I've posted my skills and showcases in LinkedIn to people know me, but I am not sure it's enough or not. I'm thinking there are some other ways that help me.
Do you have any idea or advice?

I've implemented an Azure-based solution on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and used Azure Firewall to control and secure outbound traffic from applications running on AKS . I also configured Azure Monitor alert rules to monitor the solution and detect anomalies in system behavior.
Additionally, I've implemented the infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform to provision the Azure resources.
The complete solution, including the Terraform code and AKS configurations, is available on my GitHub.

I'm looking for learning from experts and improve my skills, so could you please give a feedback on my design?
P.S. This solution was developed as a part of the Microsoft MSFarsi Community scholarship.
I recently reviewed an internal Azure VM deployment that was costing around $533/month.
​
The VM was hosting a Linux web application used by roughly 100 internal users during business hours.
​
The original configuration was:
​
Standard D8ads v5 (8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM)
​
32 GB Standard SSD
​
Public IP
​
Total cost: approximately $533/month.
​
After reviewing actual workload requirements, we found the application didn't need that much compute capacity.
​
We reduced the VM to:
​
Standard D4ads v5 (4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM)
​
This immediately reduced the cost to approximately $291/month.
​
The next observation was that nobody used the application outside business hours.
​
Instead of keeping the VM running 24/7, we automated deallocation between 20:00 and 07:00 using Azure Automation Account.
​
We also used Logic Apps to send notifications to Teams and Telegram so we could verify that the automation executed successfully every day.
​
Final result:
​
Original cost: $533/month
​
Right-sized cost: $291/month
​
Final cost after scheduled deallocation: ~$180/month
​
Total reduction: ~66%
​
No Reserved Instances. No Spot VMs. No architecture changes. No impact on users.
​
I wrote up the full breakdown, calculations, and architecture here for anyone interested:
